The kids had a snowball fight today. You’re probably thinking…isn’t it July? While hiking in Tahoe today, we came upon several mounds of snow. What child (or father, for that matter) can’t resist the opportunity to play in snow!
What we thought would be just a two hour hike to Summit Lake ended up taking us over five hours. We wrongly assumed it was just a short two-mile jaunt. It was actually over five miles—probably closer to six because we kept getting lost on our way back. I kept trying to recall Man vs. Wild survival techniques from the Sierra Nevada episode just in case.
At 7200 feet elevation, this was the most beautiful and picturesque hike on which we’ve been. There were tons of rocks and trees to climb and streams to splash; the children felt like Bear Grylls on a big adventure.
Jessie was a trooper, plodding along the entire way. Becca and the boys fell/jumped into a pond during the first part of the hike and had to walk the entire hike dirty, wet and barefoot. Thankfully, with all of the rocks to climb and jump off, no one (including Gregg) was injured.
